Замечательный отдых в ТАЙЛАНДЕ!!! Wonderful holiday in THAILAND!!!

We flew to rest in this hotel from Samara. We were there at the end of December 2011. The overall impression of the hotel is average. I can't say that we liked it very much. The hotel is relatively new. The hotel rooms are decent. Everything was in good condition. Check-in to the hotel was quick. No deposit is taken upon check-in. The windows of our room overlooked the road. It was quite noisy at night. The room had: 2 balconies, one double bed, safe (small size), chest of drawers, TV, air conditioning, bathroom (with not very hot water), all toiletries were replenished every day. There was no fan. There was no minibar in the room, but that was good for us. When checking out from the hotel, one couple had problems with it, they made them pay extra, although they said that they did not take anything from there. Every day, 2 bottles of drinking water of 0.5 liters were brought to the room. ATTENTION!! ! You don't need to throw them away. They are reusable. You may be charged a fine upon eviction. Breakfast at the hotel was ok. But monotonous. Could eat. There were: Vegetables, noodles, sausages, croutons, bacon, scrambled eggs, rice soup, tea, coffee, milk, jam, cereal, butter, fresh juice (very tasty), watermelons, pineapples, bananas. Breakfast from 6-10 o'clock. The staff at the hotel is friendly, always smiling, they do not speak Russian (they explained in English). The hotel has a pool with pretty cool water, seems to be clean. Worked until 8 pm. Bathed in it once. There was once. There is no hotel area. Near the hotel there are shops 7-11, Family, cafes. I did not like that there was no market nearby where you could buy fruits, clothes, souvenirs. I had to take a tuk-tuk. Other hotels had it all nearby. The sea is far from the hotel, if you walk, take a tuk-tuk to go for 5-7 minutes. The famous Volkin Street is a five minute drive away. If you come as a sex tourist, then you court, good location of the hotel. But we were not interested. We walked along Volkin Street once, that was enough for us. The ticket was taken at the last moment, there was almost no choice in hotels. And so it is unlikely that they would have opted for this hotel. It was the first time in Thailand. Rest very much!! ! SUPER!! ! I plan to come back here again. . Sea excursions for every taste and budget. All are very interesting. We were told by the guides that you can go to Pattaya at least 3 times to see everything, try it, there are a huge number of excursions. The weather during the stay was good, it was windy, not hot. The temperature did not rise above 30. We took excursions from Korela, prices differed from street tour agencies by about 100-200 baht. (It's cheaper outside). The difference was small. Therefore, we decided to take from Corel. I liked the organization of the excursions. What they took from them, they did not regret. We took excursions: 1. A sightseeing tour of Pattaya was free, included in it (Observation deck with the Big Buddha, a jewelry factory, a latex pillow store, a souvenir shop + a Crocodile farm and a garden of million stones). 2. Bangkok + Oceanarium (The largest in Southeast Asia). Gave for this tour 2500 baht per person. 3. Khao Keo Zoo (Large, you can’t get around it on foot) + Bee apiary. This tour costs 900 baht per person. We fed giraffes, elephants, tapirs, rhinoceroses from the hand. The hippos were fed with bamboo. Bought fruit for them there. It costs 20 baht. The zoo also has an animal show. . Where the animals themselves "act" without human intervention. The zoo is worth a visit if you are with children. Delight is guaranteed!! ! 4. River Kwai standard, two-day excursion (I think it costs 2950 baht per person). The houses were on the water. And what angered me most of all was that the next morning they did not turn on hot water, although it is provided there, it would be very unpleasant. Although I had asked the guide before, he said that everything would be fine. And so the tour is very interesting. Worth to go. The tour is very rich. The price includes elephant rides in the jungle for about 30 minutes. An elephant enters the water and the mahout for 100 baht can take pictures on your camera. We've got over 30 somewhere. After the walk, a small elephant show awaited us. We visited wild monkeys and fed them nuts. There was rafting on the river Kwai in vests. The nature there is of course amazing, the waterfalls are beautiful. Bathed in radon baths. We went to the house of a Thai farmer. We went to a teak factory. Just watched "Masterpieces" FROM TEAK. We stopped at a tea house, a pharmacy, the Temple of the Crocodile. They fed us for 2 days, in my opinion 4 times. They weren't hungry. five. The islands of Ko-Talu and Samet (The islands are especially cool, Ko-Talu liked it, and on Samet the sand is like powder-SUPER !! ! . I think they paid about 5000 baht for this excursion for two. They give out a mask with a snorkel. On this excursion we have there was a lunch buffet, overlooking the ocean, with pleasant music in a cafe. We went to the islands of KO-LAN on our own by ferry. We specially got up early and went on a 7-hour ferry. Basically, everyone goes on a 10-hour one. We arrived, no people, beauty!! ! The water is warm and turquoise, super!! ! We managed to take cool pictures while there were no people. The cost of the ferry is 30 baht per person. After the ferry, you need to take a tuk-tuk to get to the beach, we were to TIEN BEACH. We got on a motorbike, a Thai took us there. They gave another 40 baht per person. The cost of sunbeds is 100 baht per person. There are many cafes on the island, prices are higher than in Pattaya. We wanted to ride a banana, but something later changed their mind, they were afraid for things. By the way, it costs 300 baht per person for 30 minutes. le have the opportunity to ride. But they say it is dangerous, in material terms. They can charge a fine for damaging a jet ski. In general, our vacation was a success! I WANT BACK!!!! ! But if we go to Pattaya again, we will definitely not choose this hotel. We will look for another. TRAVEL LONGER AND LONGER!! ! ALL PLEASANT REST AND IMPRESSIONS!!!! !
